Simon Lock is a Head of Operations Technology and Minerva Bunkering Technology at Mercuria Energy Trading S.A.. He possess expertise in .net, c#, wpf, agile methodologies, design patterns and 8 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Simon is definitely one of the most brilliant and motivated developers I know. He can take any problem, talk to the business to refine the specifications, then build an amazing solution that exceeds expectations. Simon joined Man shortly before a greenfield project to write a brand new OMS. He has consistently been a key developer for the entire project. One of his many important contributions is TradePad. TradePad is the GUI that everyone involved in the trade lifecycle uses to monitor trades from inception until booking. He architected TradePad so that it discovers plug-in modules of front end GUI functionality. The architecture he chose is nothing short of brilliant, as it has proved to be flexable enough to accommodate fresh modules that meet any new business requirements, as the business continues to evolve into the future. His code is elegant, clean, and robust, and he can master new skills rapidly. I really enjoy working with Simon, he is a great guy, and an asset to any team.", "Simon is an insightful application architect and GUI designer. He is a resourceful problem solver, and one of the very best developers that I have ever worked with. GLG identified their legacy VB6 OMS/EMS as carrying substantial business risk. Simon was recruited into the new front office dev team to help analyse, design and deliver GLG’s new Order Management System. Simon demonstrated considerable passion and ability in WPF GUI design, and quickly assumed a lead developer role working on Trade Pad – GLG’s new OMS container-based GUI. His contribution to the project also included ownership of server side development and frameworks. Over a period of three years, the Tomahawk project has successfully achieved its goals, removing the identified business risks of the legacy OMS system. Tomahawk now provides GLG with a rich and stable framework for future development. I consider myself fortunate to have had the luck of working with Simon, and of being able to call Simon a friend.", and "Simon is a super guy. Loves getting his thoughts into a problem and I've seen him hit his EUREKA MOMENT. A think of beauty. All round great, smart and professional guy. I'd recommend him any day of the week."
